Our review of A Quiet Place Part II

Spoilers start at 15:17!

We're back! Sorry for the break without a warning. We catch you up on what we've been watching by breaking down what films we agreed one and what films we didn't. FIlms mentioned include: Mitchells vs the Machines, Memories of a Murder, The Outside Story, The Man Who Sold His Skin, Britt-Marie Was Here and We Broke Up and a couple of rapid fire thoughts as well.

We discuss who we think will and should win in the five major individual categories and have a pro/con debate on all the films up for best picture.

We discuss a quadruple feature of films we've watched lately. Some we liked, some we loved, some we struggled to get through. Find out which is which!
